| sc94597 said: While workers still have labor power they need to form soliditarian associations that with-hold labor until demands/protections are met. That's the first step. While some jobs will be resilient, how are they going to exist without consumer demand? Even people who are still employable will be affected by this decrease. Even if your goal is to get rid of AI data centers you're not going to be able to do it with capitalism still the present socio-economic system. It needs to be displaced to achieve that goal. |
Full automation of labor would impose massive deflationary pressures and very large consumption discount rates, so the impact is overwhelmingly going to be concentrated in those whose income stems entirely from their labor.
Even a little in the way of savings or another form of income goes a long way here, though it's hard to predict much beyond that. Our current economic theories make zero sense when labor is fully decoupled from capital (or, rather, comes entirely from it).
